3. Husqvarna 360BT Backpack Blower
The Husqvarna 360BT gas-powered backpack leaf blower is a good all-around pick for large or small landscapes at a midrange price. The 65-cc 2-cycle X-Torq engine pushes up to 631 cfm of air at 232 mph for general landscape cleanup. This machine weighs in at 23.5 pounds. Its engine was louder than most of the others we tested, but it was easy to start and comfortable to carry. But this blower really excelled in air movement, easily outperforming all the others we tested.
Husqvarna’s X-Torq engine design reduces exhaust emissions by up to 60 percent and increases fuel efficiency by up to 20 percent. Dampeners between the engine and chassis reduce vibrations. The padded harness and hipbelt are shaped to fit the contours of the operator for more comfortable operation. The offset handle makes the blow force easier to control, preventing arm strain and fatigue. The variable speed throttle with cruise control can be set for easier handling.
- Professional quality performance
- Low-profile suspension system
- Large fuel tank for extended runtime
- Reduced emissions compared with other gas blowers
- Heavier than other models
- Loud engine noise
- Bulky, not as easy to store
4. Makita EB5300TH 4-Stroke Engine Backpack Blower
The Makita EB5300TH features cleaner emissions than 2-cycle engines, and a 52.5-cc 4-cycle engine that uses only gasoline. It pushes up to 516 cfm of air at a velocity of 184 mph for strong cleaning capacity. At 70 dB, it is much quieter than the competition, which averages 95 to 105 dB. This blower weighs 26.5 pounds.
Makita did a great job mitigating heavier weight with thick padded shoulder straps and a well-balanced suspension system. The 4-stroke engine was easy to start, without mixing fuel, and it ran smoothly and surprisingly quietly. At full throttle it had adequate power for all of our test materials, including wet, matted leaves and heavy debris.
The EB5300TH features mechanical automatic engine decompression for fast, easy starts and a large-capacity air filter that is conveniently positioned for replacement as needed. Adjustable shoulder straps let the operator easily customize the fit. Toolless handle adjustment allows the operator to quickly change the position of the handle for maximum efficiency.
- 4-cylinder engine produces lower emissions
- Quiet operation
- Best overall suspension system
- Easy to start
- Heavier than comparable 4-cycle blowers
- Slightly lower airflow
- Bulky for storage
5. DEWALT 20-Volt Max Variable Speed Impact Driver
The best impact driver does not need to be the most expensive or complicated. In fact, many top-tier options come with a no-frills approach since the driver and a battery is really all you need. The top pick for this list takes just that approach with the addition of a handy charging station to keep the driver going as long as you need it for any indoor or outdoor job you can imagine.
The DEWALT DCF885C1 impact driver is a great option for anyone looking for a first-time or replacement power fastener. Coming with an independent charging station and the standard ¼-inch hex shank, this driver is small enough to fit into tight spaces without sacrificing on the power and torque—up to 1,400 inch-pounds—it can produce. The driver head also includes three LED lights for illuminating the space you are working on.
- Powerful performance
- Fairly lightweight and compact
- Long battery run-time and fairly quick recharge
- Handful of complaints about battery life
